Abstract

DNA arrays are valuable tools in molecular biology laboratories. Their rapid acceptance
was aided by the release of plans for a pin-spotting microarrayer by researchers at
Stanford. Inkjet microarraying is a flexible, complementary technique that allows
the synthesis of arrays of any oligonucleotide sequences de novo. We describe here an open-source inkjet arrayer capable of rapidly producing sets
of unique 9,800-feature arrays.
